From a physics standpoint the reason counter-steering works is due to the rounded profile of a bicycle or motorcycle tire. Car tires have a flat profile. This rounded profile causes a difference in diameter of the tire size as the bike is leaned over.

From the physics standpoint, and as a former aggressive motorcycle rider, counter steering is one of the best things you need to know when riding, and it needs to be practiced so it becomes instinctual. It does require a bit of speed of 15 mph or more to become effective. Try pushing the right...

Beautiful bike and welcome! Hang around, you’ll enjoy it here.

Try to avoid riding on any painted lines as they as less porous than asphalt, thus reduced traction.

Maybe a “prune smoothie” would be a good choice for your “regular” customers!! 😉

Drowning a worm.

I had to get rid of my acoustic when I retired, as we are full time RV, so only so much room. I gave it to my old co worker, as he expressed interest in her. She was a Dekra D Drive with shaft drive and a 3 speed Nexus hub. I still miss her.

PLAYED my acoustic today! Does that count? As you can see, I am a MOPAR guy too.

Sorry to hear the situation NH! Never good news to be handed. My wife’s father is going through the same scenario, and like him you will be in our prayers as well!

Five out of four people have trouble with fractions.

Put a pine tree air freshener in the cab and then remind her of the pine cones in the air box. ;)

Here is a Top Peak multi tool I keep Velcro strapped to my bars as well.

I use panniers, and keep the tools inside a zippered money bag from my bank. Small, flat, and strong enough, and if it gets a hole or tear, the bank is happy to give me another one! Did I mention they are FREE?

Welcome! Thanks for the nice auto-biography as well, it feels like with that type of introduction we already “know” you. Sounds like you made a good decision on your bike and lucky for you to be able to rent different models until you found what works best for you. Most of us have to buy and...

Yup, gotta get up and atom!!

Here are a few shots of Baseline Road Trailhead in Ocala, FL. Basically a paved multi loop trail that was not crowded and also has a 24 hole disc golf course we played as well.

The compass I showed may do the trick for you. It has an inclinometer built in. Your frame is flat, just not level. With the compass the rotating bezel will do your math for you, just hold the compass‘ flat measuring side to your frame, rotate the bezel to zero, and you’re calibrated, now...

Sounds like fun!

Wow, nice synopsis. One question, with the front hub motor gear shifting is optional as whatever selected gear has no effect on the motor performance. That said are you using your mid drive in the same manner as a “single speed” or actually using the gears to match the terrain ridden?

Beautiful area there. I had a friend when I was in the Army who lived in Orange. Some weekends we would load up the motorcycles and head south from where we were stationed in Kansas to there for a good shrimp boil. My wife and I are headed that way in March on my way to Athens, TX for me to go...
